Question

Please answered as I am really confused

by Feb 2, 2014 9:29PM PST

Hello,

I have Huawei G610 which has 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. I have 3G connection. But internet speed and yotube streaming and downloading on it is slow. Should I buy phone with higher HSDPA e.g. 42.2 Mbps to make it faster or does 3G internet speed depend on only 3G connection speed ? If I have same SIM and use phone with higher HSPDA will it be helpful ? Sorry for ma bad english

No matter how fast the phone is capable of receiving/sending data it comes down to the data speed provided by your cellular carrier in your area.

Youtube gets throttled by some carriers/networks

That's probably more relevant than whether or not you have access to 42.2. It slows to a crawl sometimes even on the fastest carrier's networks IME.
